The appellant Shri. Krishnadas P is the owner of the 4 star Hotel named Green Fields, Kaippuzhamutt, Kumarakam, Kottayam Dist. An HT service connection was availed from the Licensee (KSEBL) for running this Hotel. The power supply was connected on 08/03/2011. The consumer in Kerala is bound to pay the Electricity duty@10% of the total energy.As per the Government order dated 11/07/1986 the tourism also will be treated as Industry and all classified Hotels are eligible for this. Then Government order dated 31/08/2010 states that the Electricity Duty payable by the High Tension Industrial consumer is 10 paisa/unit instead of 10% of the energy charges.There was a dispute between the Licensee and the Hotels about the charging of this Electricity Duty and accordingly the Association of approved and classified Hotels of Kerala approached Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. Hon'ble court issued an interim order dated 13/10/2010 stating that the petitioner shall be permitted to remit the electricity bill with electricity duty @ 10 paisa per unit for energy consumed. The liability of the petitioner to pay at the rate 10% of energy charges will be decided in the writ petition. The Licensee was not extending the benefit of this order to the appellant stating that this Hotel commenced only after this court order. |
